In plain English

This repository is a set of agent skills for working with Obsidian, a note-taking application that stores notes as plain Markdown files. An agent skill is a structured set of instructions that tells an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Codex CLI, how to perform a specific task correctly. The skills follow a published specification called the Agent Skills specification so they can be used by any compatible AI tool, not just one particular product. Five skills are included. One teaches the agent Obsidian's particular flavor of Markdown, which adds features like wikilinks (links written as double brackets), embeds, callouts, and note properties. Another covers Obsidian Bases, a database-like file format for creating filtered views and summaries over your notes. A third handles JSON Canvas, a file format for visual canvas layouts with connected nodes and groups. A fourth skill enables interacting with an Obsidian vault through the Obsidian command-line interface, useful for plugin and theme development. The fifth skill covers Defuddle, a separate tool that strips clutter from web pages and converts them to clean Markdown. You would use this repository if you work inside an Obsidian vault and want an AI assistant to create, edit, and organize your notes correctly without making mistakes specific to Obsidian's non-standard syntax. Installation can be done via a marketplace command, via npx, or by manually copying files into the configuration folder of whichever AI tool you use.
